3. Cardioid frequency response and polar pattern.
Supercardioid frequency response and polar pattern.
Ideal for touring musicians regardless of venue, the KSM9 provides superior sound in any application that
demands reference quality audio. The frequency response of the two patterns (Cardioid/Supercardioid) on the
KSM9 sound nearly identical, making it possible to choose a pattern most suitable for a given application. The
cardioid pick-up pattern provides excellent sound isolation and gain before feed-back with minimal off-axis
coloration. The narrower supercardioid pick-up pattern provides maximum sound isolation and is ideal for
applications in which there are high levels of ambient noise, or where multiple instruments or vocalists are
close to each other.

4. Key Features
Dual 3/4-inch gold layered, low mass Mylar diaphragms provide superior frequency response.
Dual polar patterns (cardioid and supercardioid) for maximum flexibility in a wide variety of performance
applications.
Class A, discrete, transformerless preamplifier provides transparent, extremely fast transient response with no
crossover distortion and minimal harmonic and intermodulation distortion.
Advanced suspension shock mount system that isolates cartridge from handling and stand noise.
Premium electronic components, including gold-plated internal and external connectors.
Three-stage grille reduces "pop" and breath noise.
Aluminum carrying case
Performance Characteristics
Smooth, pronounced high-end response
Upper mid-range sounds accurate and articulate without sounding harsh
Reduced proximity effect
